Watch live coverage as President Trump hosts the first-ever White House Digital Assets Summit.

President Donald Trump hosted the White House Digital Assets Summit in March 2025, bringing together administration officials and key crypto industry figures as the White House moved to formalize a more pro-crypto policy agenda. The summit followed Trump’s executive order creating a federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile for non-bitcoin crypto assets already held by the government. The policy shift mattered because it marked a significant change in how the federal government approached digital assets: the administration said it would keep seized bitcoin instead of selling it, explore budget-neutral ways to acquire more bitcoin, and inventory other government-held crypto assets for transfer into the new stockpile. The White House later framed these actions as part of a broader push to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world,” while also directing agencies to develop a federal regulatory framework for digital assets and stablecoins.
